Hi everyone, I’m Arleen. Thanks so much for visiting my website.

​

I’m an East Kilbride based Pilates teacher. I began my fitness career back in 1990, as a trainee fitness instructor.  I eventually went on to successfully manage health and fitness clubs in Glasgow and East Kilbride. When I became a Mum, I decided to swap the longs hours and the shift work to focus on teaching classes. I can’t believe that over 30 years later, I’m still doing a job that I absolutely love and still helping people reach their personal goals. 

​

It wasn’t all plain sailing though. In January 2011, things changed.  My Dad died.

​

I decided I’d had enough.

​

My motivation for teaching was gone. Bodypump, Bodybalance, LBT, Aerobics – all the classes I taught – I had fallen out of love with teaching.

​

Then I discovered Pilates.

​

I decided to retrain in Pilates, Yoga and pregnancy & postnatal exercise. I wanted to choose this specialist route because I want to re-educate women on how to exercise both during pregnancy and afterwards.  I also decided to train as an exercise referral teacher, allowing me to work with clients who suffer with any conditions which limit their ability to exercise. This then allowed me to specialise further. I had a particular interest in lower back pain having being a sufferer following the birth of my children, hence training as a Level 4 Lower back pain specialist.
